Description Matthias Becker CLA 2018-07-12 08:54:57 EDT 
JDTs java outline has a "Link with Editor" action in the menu. The text is misleading. I thought if I uncheck it the outline no longer switches when I switch editor. But what it actually does is: The outline switches it's content when editors a switched. But does not adapt the selection in the outline view to the selection in the editor.

So I propose to change the text to "Link with Editor Selection" to make this more clear.

maybe "Link Selection with Editor" is an even better text.

Project Explorer has the same behaviour (only the selection changes). "Link with Editor" is a well known term. So we keep it as it is.
